Another evocative writing choice from Dash. As the price of groceries climb ever higher and climate efforts call animal agriculture into question, innovations in the field of artificially cultivated food, namely meat, are coming to light.

Comparing artificial or processed food to AI slop is an excellent writing choice. In this analogy, human-produced content and information acts as the products from a family farm, whereas AI generated content becomes artificially produced and reclaimed product This debate is not solely about embracing technology or not. It's convenience vs integrity and corporations vs the individual.

An intriguing hyperbole, but one must interrogate the reasoning behind the uber-rich fixating and lobbying for AI integration. Altman's OpenAI is far from profitable, literally hemorrhaging money, and many other companies are in a constant state of free fall, only staying afloat with expensive stipends from these rich parties.

At risk of sounding political, it seems that this focus on developing LLMs is more focused on control rather than profit. With Anthropic chopping up rare books to feed to Claude, it's pretty cut and dry. The fiery furnace runs on information and water, but will any gods intervene to save us from the blaze?

This is an exceedingly evocative image, but not entirely innacurate. Altman has been pretty clear on wanting to privatize intelligence and make information a commodity on the internet. He stands directly in the way of an open-access internet through pushing AI slop responses and reducing human agency in the internet space in the name of "efficiency".
